Safety padlocks

September 2, 2014

Master Lock Safety Solutions has introduced the S-series padlock line, a new line of aluminum safety padlocks designed for safety lockout/tagout purposes. The S-series padlocks, which include the Master Lock S6835 series and American Lock S1100 series, feature the W401/W417 safety exclusive restricted keyway, which guarantees duplicate keys cannot be created in the field, says Master Lock Safety. The cylinder is also key-retaining, ensuring the padlock is not accidently unlocked by an employee. Master Lock Safety is also offering a complimentary LifeGuard key record-keeping system, which ensures a key is not duplicated within a facility. The durable, aluminum-bodied locks provide superior corrosion resistance to withstand harsh environments and are available in three shackle height sizes: 1 inch, 1.5 inches and 3 inches. Master Lock’s S6835 series features a vibrant powder-coated finish in six colour options, and the American Lock S1100 series features an anodized aluminum finish in nine different colour options.
